CHICAGO NOTES. 



Club politics are as usual a subject 

 of interest at this time. 



Retail florists never had their stores 

 more prettily decorated than now. 



C. M. Dickinson is recovering from 

 an attack of blood poisoning and re- 

 cuperating generally at Pelican Lake, 

 for a week. 



Announcements are out for the first 

 grand reception and dance to be given 

 by the Cook County Florists' Associa- 

 tion, December 4th, at Bush Temple. 



There will be no bowling by the 

 Cook County Florists' League, Novem- 

 ber 27th on account of Thanksgiving 

 rush, nor on the two following weeks. 



Chrysanthemum season is still con- 

 sidered out of the ordinary this year 

 and ou the whole will be shorter than 

 usual. The early varieties were late 

 and now the late varieties are coming 

 on early, making a decidedly briefer 

 period in which to gather In the har- 

 vest of dollars. 



Christmas goods are already making 

 their appearance on the streets. Great 

 piles of lycopodium are reminders that 

 the holidays are but a few weeks off. 



The market in this popular green is 

 opening up. The quality is unusuallj 

 good as the result of the continued 

 rains in the north woods, a condition 

 which has had the opposite result 

 upon sphagnum moss. 



Chicago dealers are having a new 

 experience this year in the handling 

 of bulbs. Never before in the history 

 of the market have dealers sold out 

 so closely, a condition brought about 

 by the unusual demand as a result of 

 the numbers frozen last winter, hya- 

 cinths, crocuses and daffodils in par- 

 ticular, but also tulips to some extent. 

 Darwin tulips were in special demand. 



Visitors: Theodore Wirth, superin- 

 tendent of parks, Minneapolis, Minn; 

 John Stuppe, of Stuppe Floral Co., St. 

 Joseph, Mo.
